Summary
Bijuu chakra is corrosive. Not just to the body, but also the soul. So corrosive, in fact, that it can wear down the barriers between this life and the last. Usually, this doesn't do much.
Usually, souls aren't reborn wanting to remember.

Team Seven starts as four people and ends up as nine in four bodies. It's... complicated.

Summary
The Shinigami decides he doesn't like the ending. So, like any self-respecting member of a fandom, he decides to change it.
__________
At least she knew there was an afterlife, seeing as she had some self-awareness, and wasn’t just scattered energy in the vast universe. She wondered idly what her destination was.She never got to see for herself, though, because all of a sudden something grabbed her.
There was a feeling that she imagined was much like being pulled through a rather large vat of jello, and suddenly she was face-to-face with — the Shinigami from Naruto?“Oh, good,” he said, “You’re from one of those universes. That makes explanations much easier.”

Listen, Tsuna already has two mists, so it's not impossible for him to have a double set.
It would be great if Reborn would stop trying to set him up with people though. -

Summary
A place where I put extra stuff related to the main work of the series; Life is Alright and Then you Die (and That's Where the Fun Begins)
Mostly it's previous versions of the fic, or little side stories I ended up not including in the main one. (I edited/straight-out removed a lot of plot points.)
Series
- Part 2 of Snakes and Shinigami

Summary
Left with only three other crew mates, it’s a ready expectation that Sanji will start fawning all over Robin in his usual obnoxious way. However, that’s not what happens. Instead, looking wild around the eyes in a way only someone who knows him well would recognize, the cook doesn’t break stride until he’s firmly within Zoro’s orbit and can wrap both hands around his upper arm, clinging tight.
“Hi, darling,” he chirps, his expression desperately conveying that Zoro needs to play along under pain of death. “Did you miss me?”

Summary
Jack is concerned about asking Will to consult on his recent series of abductions. It might be too close to home for Will. But he could really use Will's unique way of seeing things.
Surely everything will be alright. He can keep Will from getting too close.
---
Will was abducted as a teenager, and held captive for a time. The fear and abuse from that part of his past have left him feeling broken, but he's functional. For the most part.Fic Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5s8XOhYed7k9mCiQEyjq3f?si=SxiKpMDiSoCrzpNAFp8z2w

Summary
Montgomery Gator died in that water - at least, he was supposed to. But he can't quite pass on when the ferryman chooses not to do his job, when the ferryman has personal motivations to protect this one young soul. Once Monty understands why, it's a matter of whether or not he can truly believe someone else is able to care for him, and see the bigger picture that his pain has blinded him to.

What did he do to deserve this?
